Okay you image intelligent people, help!
I need help with finding a program which can open up video files and extracting frames from it, thus being able to save frames as multiple extentions, one of them being .gif

I've been using Animation Shop for the longest time, but I've got a couple of vids that the program can't find decompressors for, and I need help.

All I need is a product name (or a trial download location, or a site where it can be bought, just please link).

Yeah good question.  I use adobe animation shop myself, though I can't open much more than 500 frames on my system.

Anyone....?

Premiere works fine for me. I'm sure it's an excellent product in many other ways too, so long as you learn how to use it. I haven't.

avisynth + any video editing program that can handle uncompressed avis.

Frameserving == the win.

Didn't get the rest, because I don't know if they're "full" names or not, but I'll try search for em anyway.

VirtualDub is nice and light but afaik it saves the image sequence either in .tga or in .bmb format (of course one can copy the frames to clip board one by one)

I think Premiere will be a good choise :nod:
Habeeb it...

I tried premiere, but I felt something was kind of off with it. (it's awesome though)

Then I went to the Adobe website and checked the minimum requirements - 256RAM - and I have 128... :lol:

I'll try the other one if I can get ahold of it.

Yeah, tried it, and it seems to be great, doesn't take much RAM, and can open all frames in a video.

I just can't figure out how to take the selection of frames and save them.

Windows Movie Maker has import options as well. Its free, and isnt a resource hog like Adobe Premiere, good for what you need it for. For Movie Making it does what it needs to do.

Cut it out.

Ehh, I tried Windows Media Player - doesn't really do what I want it to do...

Premiere seems best, but I can't

a) select the exact frames I want it to take (when i set "start" and "end" it takes a bunch of frames because I can't get it to just capture two or three)

b) resize frames without losing quality
